Flannery reveals how, in addition to playing a vital role in the evolution of our own species, Europe was once the site of the formation of the first coral reefs, the home of some of the world's largest elephants, and now has more wolves than North America. This groundbreaking book charts the history of the land itself and the forces shaping life on it - including modern humans - to create a portrait of a continent that continues to exert a huge influence on the world today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winstones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35021563855001,"sku":"9780141989020","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/products\/9780141989020_5e322bbd-e18b-4e96-954e-a968335a8ee1.jpg?v=1601395709","url":"https:\/\/winstonebooks.pro\/products\/9780141989020","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
